Ok...I'm confused. I think I have the first part of the instructions and can get the URL but can't figure out how to do the "enter an image" to get the 2011 icon on my signature line. What am I doing wrong?

(I posted up above about inserting image, but in your siggy you don't have the prompt.....)

I would like to be part of MOYD 2012. Is the cut off date September 30th of the prior year like 9/30/2011 or the year of the MOYD 9/30/2012?

If I don't qualify for 2012, then sign me up for 2013.

thanks, Mark

Hi Mark,the cut off date always refers to the MOYD thread in progress.... so for example, if someone wants to join in at the end of Sept in 2012, they can.

It all runs on the honour system, and I though I didn't set up MOYD or make the rules, I like the idea of being really encouraging to those who arrive ....albeit late!

You're on the list!

I think this is really going to be helpful. I'm setting the time aside for fundamentals - so it's been scales and chord progressions so far this week. Hopefully it will help me to focus and to utilize the time spent to a better advantage than what I have been doing.Lyn

Pretty good so far.. I have a little notebook that I record my practice in.. its nothing fancy like I've seen some others using. Mine is more to keep track of the amount of time spent practicing. Things will change when I go back to work next week

Please add me in again for 2012. Actually, I've been practicing all along, but am just now getting around to logging on the 2012 forum.2011 was my first year of MOYD, and it has really made a difference. There's many a night I would be heading for bed, remember I hadn't practiced, then go at least play through something before turning in. But for MOYD, I wouldn't have bothered!

Last year I also started with a teacher in group lessons. Sometimes we spend more time talking than playing, but I think the group experience keeps us all motivated. Some of the group members also have children studying with the same teacher, but I'm just by myself, so I need all the encouragement I can get.

I love this thread! It has really made me accountable for practicing. Thank you for keeping it going. Yesterday I did not want to practiceas I was very tired. My plan was to sit down for 5 - 10 minutes (Just so I did not have to report I missed a day). Two and a half hours later I am still practicing. Not only that but it was one of my most beneficial days. Thank you again!

The cardiac ablation went very well and may really work to eliminate the afib. I came home last night and was too exhausted to do anything but today I'll make some music. So only missed a day so far this year. Shall I start with the Chopin or the Gurlitt? Maybe the Webber...

It's great to see all the new people signing up over the last few days! But just an FYI:Casinitaly is on the excused list from January 4-9, so she probably won't be updating the list until she gets back.
